"During this time, I mainly stayed in the United States, and I still felt comfortable returning to Hong Kong." After returning home, Chen Zhiwen stretched his waist and said with a smile.

In the past two or three months, when it comes to the cashing out of gold futures investment and the subsequent layout of the industry in the United States, he basically stayed in the United States, but he came back a few times in the middle to understand the development of the business in Hong Kong.

Although the five-star presidential suites in the United States are still not as comfortable as their own homes, especially last month, New York City also ushered in a major cold snap, the temperature plummeted by 20 °C, almost freezing him to a cold.

"In the future, with a plane, it will be much easier for you to travel back and forth to the United States." Chen Tianfu sat down next to him and said with a smile: "It's hundreds of millions of dollars to buy a plane, if Hong Kong wants to know about this, I'm afraid it will be another big news." ”

"It doesn't matter, they'll find out sooner or later." Chen Zhiwen shrugged and said, such a big private jet, everywhere is the news intersection, Chen Zhiwen doesn't care, now, it's time for him to show his strength everywhere, watches, luxury cars are nothing, such a big plane, is the best silent evidence, and there is the 80-meter-long super cruise ship, but the cruise ship is just an amateur play, it is impossible to run around the world, but there is no shock of the plane.

"Also, there is one more thing that I didn't tell you before, I want your uncle to come to Hong Kong to have fun, that is, his identity is a domestic cadre, isn't it a little inconvenient to come to me?" Chen Tianfu said.

"It shouldn't matter, I'll just talk to Xinhua News Agency." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

"That's good, in fact, if he didn't want to leave China, I would have wanted to bring their family to Hong Kong." Chen Tianfu said.

"Everyone has their own ambitions, and the uncle is determined to serve the people in the mainland, so it is more important for him to realize his own value, otherwise, even if he comes to Hong Kong, it is just a better material life." Chen Zhiwen shook his head and said, everyone should have a pursuit, but most ordinary people can't think too much because of the pressure of survival, and can only survive to make money, but if there is really no shortage of money for wealth and freedom, but there is no goal, then life will be meaningless.

When he was in China before, he had talked with his uncle a few times, and he could feel that Chen Tianshou really wanted to do something for ordinary people, not to mention anything else, at least he wanted the people not to have a meal and worry about food every day.

"Yes, I've told him many times, but he just doesn't want to live or die, and he didn't want to come before, saying that he was afraid of being fascinated by Hong Kong's flowery society." Chen Tianfu smiled and said that in the past six months, he has actually been to the mainland several times.

"If you don't come to Hong Kong, how can you know how good Hong Kong is?" Chen Zhiwen said with a smile: "Let him see the world of flowers in Hong Kong, and he will know that this is the goal that China will pursue in the future." ”

"That's a good idea." Chen Tianfu nodded and said, "Then I'll call over at night, but I don't know if he can go away for a while." ”

"Don't worry, if you can't leave, there will naturally be other people who can do it, do you think our investment over there is for nothing." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said.

In fact, my father is not very clear, today's country, for enterprises that can earn foreign exchange, how much attention is paid to it, after the reform, want to develop the economy rapidly, a large number of equipment needs to be imported, a large number of talents need to be sent overseas for study, which requires a large amount of foreign exchange funds, with the resources of domestic exports, it is simply not enough, and because of the reason that they dare not take a big step, the domestic government also rejected the high loan proposed by France.

Although his current domestic investment, including Shekou, Tianjin, and Yanjing, has only exported five or six million US dollars a month, this figure has already exceeded that of many provinces without resources. But this is actually just the beginning, some domestic departments specializing in foreign affairs are aware of Chen Zhiwen's influence in electronics and retail.

"By the way, there is one thing I almost forgot to tell you, your uncle was transferred to Yanjing, and several positions for him to choose." Chen Tianfu said again.

"It's expected, it's okay to go to Yanjing, and it's more convenient for us to go to the mainland in the future." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile that everyone knows the intentions of the country.

"Another thing, once I went to the mainland, some officials with other identities also found me, saying that they wanted us to invest in enterprises like cashmere processing factories, I didn't care at the time, and now I think about it, are you interested?" Chen Tianfu asked again.

"Let's talk about this, I guess I will go to the mainland again in a while." Chen Zhiwen thought about it and said, velvet products are actually very popular in Europe and the United States, and they can be sold at a good price, especially the domestic procurement cost is much lower than that of foreign countries, and the profit is still quite high.

However, the so-called high profits are only about a few hundred thousand dollars a month, and Galaxy Trade naturally doesn't care much, but it's different for China, it turns out that the fluff on ducks and geese can also earn foreign exchange, which is the easiest way for domestic officials who are trying to earn foreign exchange, but they don't have export channels.

"That's fine, you can do it, right? We can also get some benefits from it, and we can help the country earn foreign exchange, and we can also give ordinary people a little more income. Chen Tianfu nodded and said.

"Rest assured, this fluff business is just a drop in the bucket for my future investment in the mainland." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said.

Last year, his main funds were in the gold market, the mainland has just been reopened, many policies have not yet begun, and it is not suitable for large-scale investment, overseas capital is a small amount of investment in a tentative way, as far as Chen Zhiwen invested several million US dollars (except Shekou), it is estimated that the scale is relatively large in the past year.

Now, a large number of returns on gold futures have arrived, and after a year, the domestic investment in foreign investment, is also much clearer, and will pay more attention to foreign investment, especially Hong Kong investment, which gives itself a great opportunity.

"That's fine, but you don't have to force the investment, at least you can return to your capital, otherwise it won't last at all." Chen Tianfu said.

"Don't worry, when have you ever seen me invest at a loss." Chen Zhiwen said quite confidently that the domestic opportunities in the 80s were indeed not as good as those in the 90s, but there was still a lot of gold investment, and this time was also the time period when the country lacked capital and overseas funds did not dare to enter the market.

The next day, Chen Zhiwen came to the Hutchison Building, and at the same time, several senior executives of Galaxy and Wharf Group also came here to hold a high-level meeting on Hong Kong's local business.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and this is my heartfelt gesture to you on behalf of Hutchison and Galaxy Group, and thank you for your contributions to the company over the years." Before the meeting began, Chen Zhiwen said with a smile, and at the same time, an assistant handed over the envelopes with their names to everyone at the scene one by one.

Everyone received the envelope, but because of the environment of the scene, no one opened what was inside, seeing this situation, Chen Zhiwen said: "Everyone open it and take a look." ”

The boss spoke, and everyone opened the envelope in front of them, which was a check, and many people's expressions changed slightly, obviously a surprise.

"Alright, let's start the meeting officially." Chen Zhiwen went on to say that just like Costco's high-level executives, Chen Zhiwen also gave some incentives to the high-level executives in Hong Kong, which is not a lot, and he will probably be able to buy a decent house in Hong Kong.

In addition to Galaxy and Hutchison, Midea and Red Bull are the same, and even all employees of all companies will receive an additional 2-3 months of salary bonuses. But even so, these rewards are only a drop in the bucket of recent profits.

At the official start of the meeting, the current Hutchison and Galaxy are still implementing the development plan formulated by Chen Zhiwen at the beginning, focusing on the real estate industry, making every effort to develop their own land, and cooperating with other companies to develop it, but they are all short-term projects to pursue, in order to achieve a rapid capital turnover rate.

In today's period when the real estate market is at its peak, he is a fool, as long as he is bold, he can make money, even more than those who work hard to do business.

With the capital and Chen Zhiwen's sufficient trust, the two companies benefited greatly last year, with a net profit of more than 470 million Hong Kong dollars and a net profit of 210 million Hong Kong dollars, as for Galaxy Trading, the results are even more conspicuous, with dozens of large supermarket chains around the world, throughout 1979, Galaxy Trading obtained orders of more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the net profit was as high as more than 400 million Hong Kong dollars.

Wharf is a little worse, after all, it has just been acquired, and the main energy in the early stage is also to improve the construction of Harbour City, and after the opening of Harbour City in early 79, Wharf also began to invest in the development of its own land, most of the time, the profit is also more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars, but the construction of Harbour City owes a lot of loans, this money is mainly used to repay the loan, and to prepare for the project in 1980.

With an annual net income of HK$1 billion, Hutchison and Galaxy have become the top consortium in Hong Kong, and if both groups are listed companies, then the market value will definitely not be lower than the entire Jardine Matheson system, and it is estimated that only HSBC, the quasi-central bank of Hong Kong, can surpass.

"Very good, then next year you will still focus on the real estate business, but unless you can get the core position of Central, or some land with special value, then, all the business is mainly for sale, not for yourself." After listening to the reports of several companies, Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

Although real estate is not as important as technology companies in his heart, but knowing the future, the ability to absorb money is too strong, especially before the 82 real estate crisis, as in the original history, Hutchison controlled by Li Ka Shing, in 1982 the net profit was as high as 1.13 billion Hong Kong dollars, this huge profit made Hutchison market value as high as 9.8 billion Hong Kong dollars, the market value is second only to HSBC, Hang Seng Bank, Hongkong Land and Swire, ranking fifth in Hong Kong, and Li Ka Shing has also become one of the top richest people in Hong Kong. Gradually began to sit on an equal footing with the ship king Bao Yugang.

That is to say, in the next three years of 80/81/82, the Hong Kong real estate market will be even more crazy, as long as you pay attention to one point in 82 years, the high profit will definitely surpass the beauty of the arcade.

However, it is limited to the small market of arcade machines, if Midea can play a leading role in the field of home game consoles, then the high profits of the world's popular civilian goods can easily crush the real estate market in Hong Kong.

"Understood." Everyone nodded and replied, and then, Zhao Lilin, the general manager of Wharf, said: "Chen Sheng, there is one more thing, before I negotiated with Zhou Sheng and Xu Sheng to acquire Kowloon Bus, in the past half a year, we have acquired about 32% of the shares from various small shareholders and the stock market, and now there seem to be several parties in the market who have found abnormalities, and they are also hoarding KMB shares, which increases the difficulty of our acquisition. Buying shares directly at a high price on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange will cost less if it is fast enough to spend less than if it were delayed like this. ”

"Now that the Hong Kong government has revised the proportion of shares that trigger the takeover offer, to 35%, it will trigger the general takeover offer, are you preparing to fully acquire KMB?" Chen Zhiwen asked.

"Yes, there is such a plan, but once we make a public acquisition, the stock price of KMB will inevitably rise sharply, which will inevitably consume more of our funds." Zhao Lilin said.

"It doesn't matter, the acquisition, of course there will be a premium, just buy it directly at a higher preferential price, don't care too much about this money." Chen Zhiwen said indifferently.

Compared with the appreciation of the Hong Kong real estate market, the longer it drags on, the higher the price of KMB's land may be, which is not cost-effective, and it is better to buy it as soon as possible.
